“I love reading and my books are for children who are learning to read and who love reading just like me.”
Destiny Likambi
Incredible six-year-old author Destiny Likambi continues her series of Destiny Books – named after the author herself – with her thrilling new story Destiny and the Troll.
Earlier in the year, Destiny made history by becoming the UK’s youngest author at the age of five, taking the baton from her older sister and best-selling author Latoya. Destiny’s hugely successful debut The Girl on the Journey was a children’s book illustrated, narrated, and written by the young prodigy, and follows the journey of the brave Alena after she gets lost.
This amazing feat is only the beginning for the young author. This December, Destiny follows up her debut with her second book Destiny and the Troll, which takes us on a thrilling new adventure into the woods!

Join Destiny on her exciting new adventure to find out!
“I am excited to write my own books because I don’t just want to read other people’s books, I want to do more.”
